Qui Totum Vult Totum Perdit

Ils se sont aimés pendant huit ans. Pour Noah Lambert, Delphine Colin est passée de la femme idéalisée qu'il gardait au fond du cœur à une présence dont il avait hâte de se débarrasser. Pendant trois ans, elle a fait des efforts, jusqu'à ce que la dernière parcelle de ses sentiments s'épuise. Delphine a alors perdu toute illusion et elle est partie. Le jour de la rupture, Noah a ricané : « Delphine, j'attends que tu viennes me supplier de nous remettre ensemble. » Mais, à force d'attendre, ce qu'il a appris, ça a été la nouvelle du mariage de Delphine. Fou de rage, il a composé son numéro : « Tu as assez fait de scandales ? » À l'autre bout du fil, une voix grave d'homme a répondu : « Monsieur Lambert, ma fiancée est sous la douche, elle ne peut pas répondre à votre appel. » Noah a ricané et a raccroché aussitôt, persuadé que ce n'était qu'une stratégie de Delphine pour le faire tourner en bourrique. Jusqu'au jour du mariage de Delphine. Lorsqu'il l'a vue, vêtue d'une robe blanche, tenant son bouquet et avançant vers un autre homme, il a compris enfin : Delphine ne voulait vraiment plus de lui. Comme un fou, il s'est précipité devant elle : « Delphine, je sais que j'ai eu tort. Ne te marie pas avec un autre, d'accord ? » Delphine a soulevé sa jupe en passant devant lui : « Monsieur Lambert, tu n'avais pas dit que toi et Anne étiez faits l'un pour l'autre ? Alors, pourquoi venir t'agenouiller à mon mariage ? »

Avant de fermer les yeux, il me fixe intensément, « j'aurais voulu... ne jamais te rencontrer. » Lors des funérailles, sa mère est accablée de chagrin. « J'aurais dû laisser Ivan et Jenni s'unir, je n'aurais pas dû le forcer à te marier ! » Mon beau-père me blâme, « Ivan t'a sauvée trois fois. Il était si bon. Pourquoi tu n'es pas morte à sa place ? ! » Tout le monde regrette mon mariage avec Ivan, même moi. Désemparée, je me fais virer des funérailles. Trois ans plus tard, à la commercialisation d'une machine qui remonte le temps, je choisis de retourner dans le passé. Cette fois, je couperai mes liens avec Ivan, cela pour le bien de tous.

We had been in love for years, and everyone believed that Henley was utterly devoted to me. Even I thought so—until the day I saw him in bed with a younger woman. I lost all will to live and chose the most peaceful way to end it all. When Henley found out I had donated my body, he completely lost his mind.

I worked super hard during Cyber Monday and pulled in 20 million dollars in sales, only for my wife, Chelsea Abbott, to credit it to her childhood sweetheart, who had just returned from studying overseas. I was so furious that I confronted her, but she clung to Donald Dixon's arm and said righteously, "Donald just got back, and he doesn't have a solid footing yet. What's wrong with my helping him establish some authority? Are you really going to argue with me over this?" I swallowed it. But at the year-end conference, Donald actually pointed right at my face in front of the entire company and yelled, "I produced these results myself. You're just a deadweight living off your wife. You don't even deserve to be here! Keeping parasites like you in the company is a total waste of resources!" My performance was used to build his reputation, and this was how he repaid me? I turned to look at Chelsea, but she didn't even spare me a glance. Instead, she announced to everyone, "Donald's right. The industry's moving fast, and Will really can't keep up anymore. Starting tomorrow, all of his responsibilities will be taken over by Donald!" Faced with everyone's eager, gossipy stares, I didn't make a scene. Last night, the industry leader the company had been desperate to flatter just sent me an offer letter. Since Chelsea was determined to fight side by side with her childhood sweetheart, this was where we would end.

Celeste Lodge has been married to Terence Ford for three years. He's hated her guts the whole time. The day Winona Ford returns, he finally can't take it anymore and begins planning to fake his death so he can run away with her. "I'll fake my death in one month. I'll give up my position as heir to the Ford family and be with Winona forever." Hearing this from outside the operating room, Celeste Lodge immediately contacts a lawyer to draft divorce papers. Then, she calls her brother, Hayden Lodge, who lives abroad. "Hayden, I'm done with Terence. I'm ready to leave and live overseas with you."

After a vicious family power struggle, I fled to a small border town in the south. I took on a new identity and found work in a flower shop. Everyone believed I was dead. Then one day, someone from the family came to the shop to order flowers for the birthday party for Roman Jackson, the head of the Jackson family. The person who arrived was my former Underboss. She stared at me in shock and demanded to know why I had not returned to the Jackson family if I was still alive. She told me that Roman had kept watch over my grave for two years and that he had attempted suicide three times in the cemetery, each time stopped by someone else. Roman was my ex-husband. He had an adopted sister, Liliana. Fifteen years ago, her parents were gunned down while covering Roman's father's escape from a rival family. After that, Liliana became Roman's most cherished sister. She tampered with my armored car. The brakes failed, and the vehicle plunged off a cliff. I broke three ribs. Roman mobilized every resource the family had and pulled me back from the brink of death. She bribed my bodyguard and laced my red wine with a neurotoxin. I lay unconscious in the villa for three days and nights. Roman sealed off the entire city, hunted down everyone involved, and made them pay in blood. She tried to kill me, and he saved me. This absurd cycle went on for three years. Until the last time. She detonated a bomb at an arms deal I was overseeing, burning seventy percent of my body. As I was lifted onto the ambulance stretcher, I clutched Roman's suit and, with the last of my strength, begged him. "Kill her, Roman. She sabotaged the deal. Those are the family rules." He crouched down, his fingers brushing my bloodstained face. His voice was calm, almost cruel. "Liliana didn't mean to. Let it go. For the sake of what her parents sacrificed for the family." In that moment, my heart to him died completely.
